Fall Basketball Programs, Right Around the Corner
12 Cone Ballhandling Drill (Video)
By randomly placing 12 cones inside the lane, you create tighter spaces through which the ballhandler must navigate through while making their moves. These tight spaces force the player to make their moves. It also requires them to work on their footwork in order to be able to change directions quickly.
One on One Combo Drill
I have stated before that playing one on one is a valuable way to incorporate the skills that have been worked on throughout a workout into a game like situation. The One on One Combo Drill allows players to work on offensive ball handling moves as well as attacking and finishing at the rim. This drill also takes on a new level by incorporating multiple aspects of individual defense
What it Takes to Shoot Like Ali Farokmanesh
The great part about the NCAA tournament is that you get to watch guys who are not household names step up and play basketball on such a big stage. Ali Farokmanesh is no acception and man can this guy shoot the basketball. In the first round he hit a deep three in the closing seconds to help his team beat UNLV. Then for an encore, in the second round on a 2 on 1 break with 21 seconds left in the game and his team only up one point, he pulls up and nails the three pointer that stopped the Kansas Jayhawks.
Game Shots at Game Spots at Game Speed
Too many times, basketball players go out and work on their jump shot and the work out does not consist of anything more than bouncing the ball a few times, firing up a shot from NBA range, getting the rebound, and repeating the process over and over again. This does not in any way produce a good jump shooter and will improve the players jump shot only slightly more than if they stayed on the couch and played NBA Live. Basketball players need to take game shots at game spots at game speed.
